Transcript

00:00Initial word on KJ?

00:02You know, I think he's okay.

00:03I talked to Klay and talked to him.

00:06Just banged it really hard,

00:08but I think structurally and everything, it's okay.

00:11I just think it's going to be really sore.

00:16What will stand out about this one to the advantage

00:18where you hold them to under 40%

00:20and a tough night for them offensively,

00:22but at the same time, the turnovers,

00:24where you knew they would pressure you

00:26with 19 turnovers a game?

00:28Well, they averaged getting 18 a game,

00:31and they made their average,

00:34which we were trying to prevent.

00:36And they get 15 offensive rebounds a game,

00:39and we gave them 19.

00:41I shouldn't say we gave them.

00:42They just outworked us for a lot of them.

00:45So, again, that game, you know,

00:48we scheduled it for a purpose.

00:50We knew they'd be really physical.

00:52It was kind of like Troy.

00:53We're trying to get our guys,

00:55you know, the physicality of the game.

00:57We got to get ready for it.

01:00So, very physical team, older guys,

01:04you know, just pounded the boards,

01:06you know, got up defensively,

01:08got their hands all over us, overplayed everything.

01:12And we didn't handle either aspect of it

01:15as well as I'd hoped.

01:16We spent the last two days

01:18really trying to get ready for it,

01:20and, you know, we didn't do a good enough job, again,

01:25handling their pressure

01:27or getting those defensive rebounds.
